Petroleum Spirit
'Petroleum Spirit' is a head-on collision between fantasy and reality, told through the twisted world view of Errol, a sexually repressed teenager, born in the wreckage of a Lada crash. Raised in isolation, by his mother at a remote petrol station, Errol yearns to explore the real world. When his mother dies in an accident, Errol learns that the father he thought once dead is alive. He sets off in the Lada to find him, leaving an unintended trail of destruction across the desolate backroads of 80s Britain behind him. When he finally does reach him, Errol's violent-tempered father tries to recruit him into a criminal underworld, forcing Errol to choose what kind of man he wants to be. This thrilling odyssey burns, a highly-flammable cocktail of love, hate, sex and death, until our moral compass spins and we can only hope that Errol will find salvation.
